  • Tableside guacamole service
  • Located inside MGM Grand
  • Late-night dining

Paying homage to Mexico's culinary traditions through bold flavors, honest ingredients and modern techniques, Diego is a bright and vibrant restaurant featuring authentic dishes steeped in tradition and served with a twist. Traditional recipes hand-picked from the Mexican countryside create the foundation for chef Christopher Palmeri's bold menu. Then he makes them completely his own. Using honest ingredients and modern techniques, he enlivens authentic Mexican dishes with new twists to create new favorites like carne asada or cochinita pibil. You'll find the bright and vibrant restaurant just as exciting as the food. Treat yourself--and your taste buds--to a culinary journey decidedly south of the border.

Editorial Review for Diego at MGM Grand – by Lily Fu

In Short
Bright magentas, fuchsias and greens are splashed onto the furniture and walls at this colorful eatery. The menu offers small plates, organic vegetable dishes and salads, and large-sized entrees. Servers make guacamole tableside, or diners can sample six varieties of salsa from a roaming cart. Specialties include the pollo al horno con mole--wood-oven roasted baby chicken with oaxacan red mole, spinach and crispy onion strings. The tequila selection includes only 100 percent Blue Agave tequilas and mezcals.

User Reviews for Diego at MGM Grand

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I'm not an expert on mexican food. I don't love it. But this place made everything right. We had a certificate or two, so we weren't particularly mindful of our budget. We were able to sample a variety of things and were pleasantly pleased with it all. The waitstaff was wonderful. We got there late and most of the crowds had left, so perhaps they could spend more time with us. Whatever. Maybe that's a tip. Anyway, it was a memorable meal and evening out for us.

2 Star Rating: Below Average

No, no, no. Spend your money ( a lot of it ) elsewhere. We are from Houston, and we know Mexican (& Tex-Mex) food. We also know good food. This place does not have it. The ambiance and service were OK, otherwise the rating would be one star. Everyone was disappointed with their entrees. I opted for the chef's 'Taster' (sample platter) of four dishes: sea bass (decent, though slightly overcooked), beef tenderloin (uninspired and bland lying atop some sort of odd bland paste), ceviche (this was the worst - almost nothing but cabbage/lettuce that tasted fishy - I'm not kidding), and fingerling potatoes (good, but are boiled potatoes really something a great chef puts on display?). Our complaints were all similar. The food was bland or ordinary. I can get a better meal from a chain restaurant in Houston. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but the degree of disappointment was so high, I just had to vent a bit. Choose a different restaurant in Vegas.
